A console sold is a console sold. They sell out as soon as they come in - so IT MAKES NO SENSE to hold them back. More likely then stockpiling is that Nintendo is having some probelms making the damn things. |
i wouldnt say that its the dumbest, but i'd have to agree that it doesn't make much sense to me either. like you said, whats the difference of a console sold today than a consolde sold tomorrow? a system sold is a system sold. if nintendo is indeed stockpiling, it would probably hurt them more than actually boost sales. people will wait just so long to buy a game console. either they end up spending the money on something else or the may go buy a ps3 or a 360.
